There are no plans for Jay-Z to become an NFL owner, people connected to NFL ownership and the league office have told CBS Sports.

The idea that Jay-Z has a handshake deal for partial ownership of an NFL team or is on a fast path to having a team of his own is a rumor reported by TMZ, sources told CBS Sports.

In an Aug. 16 article, TMZ reported, “Sources connected to Jay and with direct knowledge tell us … Jay is going to have a ‘significant ownership interest’ in an NFL team.”
